Christmas Play Dough Invitation to Play

Invite your Children to explore the scents and textures of Christmas with this lovely – easy to set up – invitation to play.

We set up our little Christmas Play Dough Kit in a few minutes!

Both Emma (4) and Dylan (almost 2) sat for almost an hour, the end result was play dough made christmas decorations – of all shapes and sizes…

When you create an ‘invitation to play’ or simply put, when you set up an activity for your children to do, have a little think before hand of the actual objective, this always helps me to determine what should go into the activity or set up..

Possibly – if they had not lost interest, keep some of the things they made so we can dry them and hang them on the tree…

This it seemed for both kids was the main objective!! I had not said a word and they started churning out one decoration after the other – that resembled our play dough monsters – more than the pretty tree shaped/star adorned/beautiful bauble decorations that I imagined…

They thought their decorations were beautiful – and you know what, so did I!

Best decorations ever!

It is always at this point that I would love to be able to jump inside their little heads and see what they are seeing… I love the process and the interesting designs – each one carefully made and thought through…

This is without a doubt my favorite…

Something from Star Wars?

This below is THE TREE – the ONE…

This activity kept them entertained for an hour!

I loved that they took it where they wanted it to go… to ornaments, by the dozen!
